The incorporation of digital technologies is explicitly addressed in the Early Years Learning Framework for Australia. The use of augmented reality (AR) technology, as one form of digital technology, is increasingly embedded in digital applications because it allows individuals to interact with real and virtual objects. A significant body of research has reported the benefits afforded by the use of AR technology in schools and higher education settings. However, little is known about the contribution of AR technology to teaching practice and child learning outcomes in the preschool years. Here, we present a summary of the limited research that has explored the use of AR in preschool curricula and argue for the need for further research to explore the contribution of AR to high-quality pedagogical practice.

增强现实作为幼儿教育中的一种数字技术

在澳大利亚的“早期学习框架”中明确解决了数字技术的纳入问题。作为一种数字技术形式，增强现实（AR）技术的使用越来越嵌入数字应用程序中，因为它允许个人与真实和虚拟对象进行交互。大量研究报告了在学校和高等教育环境中使用AR技术所带来的好处。但是，关于学前教育中AR技术对教学实践和儿童学习成果的贡献知之甚少。在这里，我们提供了有限的研究摘要，该研究探讨了在学前课程中使用AR的情况，并认为需要进一步研究以探索AR对高质量教学实践的贡献。
